| Comment | We would like to suggest the following, which seem simple and could
provide substantial emissions savings.
1. Mandate that the cities & counties across the state all work
together to coordinate traffic lights. As a freight carrier, we
spend significant, nonproductive time idling. If traffic lights
were coordinated, we would be more productive, run our engines less
and deliver more product for less energy spent.
2. Work with truck rest stops to create cold ironing sites for
trucks. This would provide a place for trucks to plug their rig in
at night so they could operate their AC or cabin heater while
parked over night. This item alone could save 8 hours per night of
engine idle.
It seems like the items above would create real health savings &
productivity for the trucking industry.
Thanks,
Brad Wilson
